Features

From on-the-go remote recording, to personal studio production, to laptop-based DJing and remixing, the MicroBook delivers professional audio quality and advanced features in a highly compact form factor.

Complete personal recording The MicroBook gives you a complete personal recording solution, with simultaneous inputs for a microphone, a guitar, and a keyboard or other stereo line level device. The mic preamp delivers neutral coloration and pristine sound, with 20 dB pad and 48V phantom power for condenser mics. Programmable analog, digital, and headphone outputs provide flexible monitoring options.

Balanced line level connectors Other audio interface brands (even expensive ones) cut corners with unbalanced analog inputs and outputs, which can result in significantly compromised performance well below an equivalent balanced circuit. Not the MicroBook: your balanced I/O connections are well-protected against RF interference, AC hum, and other noise-producing environmental factors.

Precision Digital Trim™ Each MicroBook analog input is equipped with digitally controlled analog trim. This gives you the best of both worlds: the pristine signal quality of analog audio circuitry and the fine-tune precision of digital control. You can even save and recall trim settings on your computer.

Superb audio quality The MicroBook delivers uncompromising audio quality intended for the most demanding professional recording applications. Born from MOTU's award-winning line of FireWire, USB, and PCI audio interfaces, the MicroBook embodies decades of engineering expertise.
